title: [Incidence of infectious diseases in general practice. Results of a survey conducted in 1979 (author's transl)].
abstract: In 1979, a sample survey was conducted among 53 general practitioners to determine the incidence of infectious diseases in general medical practice. The survey showed that 45% of the patients seen by these doctors were suffering from an infection, that 53% of these (i.e. 24% of all patients) were treated with antibiotics and that G.P.'s play an important role in preventive medicine. These results might exert a useful influence on the teaching of infectious diseases to medical students and physicians.
